Everyone except me knows that I'm a broken sleeve

Gu Xiaoyong went back covered in heavy dew.

There was a windy autumn rain last night, and the pattering rain fell from the dark sky as thick as ink, bringing a chill to the late autumn night.

The few of them were brought to the palace last night. Emperor Qi drove out all the guards and maids, asked Gu Xiaoyong and the others to stand aside, and asked Qi Feng to take off his delicate and gorgeous robes and kneel straight in the center of the hall .

The windows in the palace were big and bright, and the windows were not closed. The icy rainwater continued to penetrate into the main hall with a chill, making Gu Xiaoyong shiver from the cold.

Qi Feng's knees were bruised, and with regret and tears all over his face, he kept apologizing to his father, but he didn't even dare to stand up.Until an informant who didn't know who invited the Empress Empress, the other party was still wearing a light yellow inner garment, with only a coat casually draped over it, and the palace servant rushed over with an umbrella.

The enraged emperor immediately calmed down, took off his heavy cloak and covered the empress, and then held her hand and asked warmly: "Why are you here?"It's cold at night, be careful of catching a cold. 』

Wu Luolan glanced at Emperor Qi, then turned her gaze coolly on Qi Feng who was kneeling in the center of the hall with his bare upper body, and said softly, "Why are you getting angry with a brat, he will freeze to death by then." , isn't it you who feel distressed? 』

Qi Feng killed people in the street, which insulted the majesty of the Tian family.He was still trying to rob a civilian man under Emperor Qi's nose, and the person who was robbed was the son of the world-renowned General Gu. This matter was so serious, but Wu Luolan didn't even ask, and covered it up lightly. .

His Highness the Crown Prince immediately looked back moved, wishing he could hug Wu Luolan's thigh and call her Queen Mother.

The moment Qi Chen saw the queen, his face turned pale, but most of the situations he set up today have achieved their goals, so he also spoke softly and said: "Father, let the second brother go, I think he will Also already knew it was wrong. 』

Qi Hanxiao clenched Qu Yao's hand, and stood silently by the side without speaking.

Emperor Qi couldn't see any emotion on his face, he led Wu Luolan to a seat beside him and sat down, and ordered Sun Dequan to close the door and window, then coughed lightly, walked slowly in front of Gu Xiaoyong, and said calmly: " I haven't seen you for a few years, Gu Er, you have grown a lot taller again.When did you return to Beijing? 』

"Just a few days ago. Gu Xiaoyong crossed his arms, ignoring Qu Yao's wide-eyed surprised eyes, and looked at Emperor Qi with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. 』

His tone was polite, but his movements and gestures were not very respectful, and even a little casual and loose. If it was someone else, he would definitely be punished.

Emperor Qi also met Gu Xiaoyong when he was a child several times at previous banquets. The little kid at that time was obedient and clever. When he saw him, he would always call his majesty sweetly and pull his clothes with bright eyes. She ran back to her mother in a childish voice, and said excitedly and happily that she had stained her hands and would never wash her hands again.

It made the young Qi Emperor laugh out loud, so he went over and hugged the young Gu Xiaoyong in his arms, talking softly to tease the little kid.At that time, he liked this child very much, and even had the idea of ​​wanting to keep him by his side as a adopted son.

It's just that Mrs. Gu was not pregnant with Gu Qianhou at that time, Gu Xiaoyong was the only real son, and she was unwilling to give up the child to him. General Gu, who had won countless battles on the battlefield, was still looking at his majesty with tears in his eyes. , Emperor Qi couldn't bear it, so he stopped thinking.

Later, for some reason, Gu Xiaoyong, who was only four years old, ran away from home suddenly, and rarely returned to Beijing.Even the people in the general's mansion can't see him inside all year round, let alone His Majesty the emperor who is far away in the deep palace.If you think about it carefully, ten years have passed.

Emperor Qi was not annoyed by Gu Xiaoyong's casual attitude. Instead, he stretched out his slightly callused and rough hand to touch Gu Xiaoyong's head. His tone was gentle and natural: "I want to ask you something, you must be old." Answer honestly. 』

"Speak, Your Majesty. 』

『I have said such stupid things to you, this rebellious son. ’ Emperor Qi took the elder to see the love of the younger, his eyes were clear and sincere, “Now everyone is telling me to let him go, what do you think? 』

Wu Luolan, who was originally holding the winning ticket, stared lazily, her eyes widened suddenly, her hands hidden under the cloak were tightly wrapped, and even the fingertips were slightly white.She looked at Emperor Qi's generous back in disbelief, then turned her deep gaze to Gu Xiaoyong, not knowing what she was thinking.

The rest of the people, including Qi Feng who was kneeling on the ground, were obviously surprised that Emperor Qi ignored his queen and instead asked a junior what he thought.

One must know that Wu Luolan would usually ignore His Majesty's answers, but it was Emperor Qi who rushed to pamper her, and no matter how rude her request was, she would be fully accepted.Today it was just to ask Emperor Qi to let his son go, it's not a big deal, and Emperor Qi ignored it?

Gu Xiaoyong looked at the gentle and loving Emperor Qi, his heart suddenly felt sour, and his sloppy posture disappeared.

In his last life, he respected this old man who had worked so hard all his life.In the past, he didn't know much about it in modern times. He thought that being an emperor really had nothing else to consider besides enjoying himself. As a talented man well-known in Shengjing, he used to accompany Emperor Qi many nights to help him handle government affairs.When Gu Xiaoyong fell asleep on the table, Emperor Qi was still reviewing the memorial. When he woke up, he had an extra piece of clothing on his body. Emperor Qi still sat motionless, and the pen in his hand almost never stopped.

Just such a gentle and wise monarch who loves the people like a son, will change his appearance for some reason later.

In the previous life, Gu Xiaoyong was pushed by Qi Feng into the icy cold pool and nearly died. The whole palace and inside and outside were trying their best to suppress this matter, and they threatened the General's Mansion many times, both openly and secretly.Only Emperor Qi called him into the room and asked him if he would let Qi Feng go.

At that time, Gu Xiaoyong looked at the deep exhaustion in Emperor Qi's eyes, his cold heart suddenly softened, and he said that he was willing.

In fact, he was wronged.

Even if he put Qi Feng sack together with Pei Mo later, and let out a bad breath, he was still wronged.

I feel wronged that being a prodigy well-known in Shengjing is not as good as a pustular waste with royal blood, I feel wronged by those elders who keep saying that he is the symbol of Dayan's prosperity, and ask him to let go of this for various reasons. something.

At that time, except for the General's Mansion and His Majesty the Emperor, almost no one stood behind him to support him.

Gu Xiaoyong looked at Emperor Qi with a gentle expression in front of him, only then did he realize that the sideburns of the other party were a little gray, and the scene of the previous life and this life merged, which made him look a little dazed.

He looked again at Qi Feng who was kneeling on the ground, looking at him fiercely.He turned his gaze to Emperor Qi again, slowly raised his lips, and said almost coquettishly: "I don't want to forgive him. 』

Because I know that I have been favored, I have the right to act like a baby.

Wu Luolan over there stood up all of a sudden, with a trace of unpredictable panic and anger in her tone: "Qi Fanghe, how dare you!" 』

Emperor Qi ignored her, just looked at Gu Xiaoyong, and smiled gently: "Okay, then don't forgive him." 』

Those grievances that have been depressed for almost two lifetimes disappeared completely in an instant, like the frost attached to the bones was evaporated by the warm sun, which made people feel subtly happy.

His Royal Highness was ordered by Emperor Qi to go to Gannian Temple to copy Buddhist scriptures, and he was not allowed to bring any servants with him, nor was he allowed to bring a tael of silver.He wore a plain monk's robe that he had never worn in his life, and went to Gannian Temple silently under the cool autumn rain.

Presumably, as soon as the next day dawned, everyone in the entire capital would know about it.

The dew was heavy, Gu Xiaoyong got off the carriage from the palace, it was not even a street away, his body and hair were already slightly damp.

The main gate of the General's Mansion was closed tightly, so Gu Xiaoyong found a tree nearby, and turned over with the strength of the branches in two or three strokes. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a calm and stern voice behind him: "Erlang, why did you come back now?"

Gu Xiaoyong froze involuntarily, turned around tremblingly, met General Gu who was standing in the dark, and said with a sneer, "Father, what are you doing standing here with such heavy dew?"

General Gu slowly walked out of the dark with his hands behind his back, his resolute and stern face showed a bit of seriousness: "I asked you something, why did you come back now? But what trouble did you cause outside?"

Although he didn't see him many times, General Gu had a thorough understanding of his second son's temperament.Every time I come back, I will cause trouble, either I will burn down the shop of this family, or I will beat the young master of that family. Although there are reasons for everything, but there are so many dignitaries in the capital, I accidentally offended the people above.

If it wasn't for the fact that General Gu's own status was not low, Gu Xiaoyong would have died countless times due to the disasters he caused.

Gu Xiaoyong has a very good reputation among the younger generation in the capital, especially among all kinds of ladies' circles.Because he has the chivalrous spirit unique to Jianghu, he doesn't care about anyone's family background when encountering unfair things, he will act when it is time to act, and he has never flinched.He doesn't have the dead air of being in the capital circle for a long time, just like a sudden vivid color, which will always live in other people's mouths, mysterious and yearning.

The old school in the capital, especially the prime minister's school with some too rigid old antiques, didn't like this young man with a quack aura, and always felt that he did things without rules, causing trouble or causing trouble.General Gu and Gu Dalang's hard-earned battle achievements have been consumed because of him.

It's just a loser's toy.

Fortunately, General Gu's family didn't mind much, so they reluctantly stopped those pointing fingers.

Of course, it's one thing not to mind, but you still need to take care of it.General Gu glanced at Gu Xiaoyong, and immediately walked into the mansion with his hands behind his back, his voice was calm: "Follow me."

Gu Xiaoyong, who was fearless in front of the emperor and Lao Tzu, was at this moment cowardly with a quail whose feathers were wet by the rain.
